1971 Map of Brockport

About this map

Brockport stands as a significant hub of education and transport in the early 1970s, dominated by the sprawling campus of the State University of New York at Brockport. The historic Erie Canal bisects the village, paralleled by the Penn Central railroad, illustrating the enduring legacy of 19th-century infrastructure on the modern town layout. Beyond the urban center, the landscape of Sweden and Clarkson remains largely agricultural, dotted with rural settlements like Redman Corners and Garland. The map reveals a high concentration of institutional and community landmarks, from Lakeside Mem Hospital to a network of local schools including Barclay Sch and Ginther Sch. Family history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds such as West Clarkson Cem and East Sweden Cem, while the southern reaches transitions into more open terrain near Northampton Park.
